Subject   st: Why does the full sample change when I add variables to the 2nd stageof a Heckman model?
Date   Mon, 11 Dec 2006 16:20:23 -0500

I'm using a Heckman sample selection model for job performance (supinnov). My selection model has 545 full observations, and includes both applicants and hired workers. However, when I add certain variables to my main 2nd stage model, the total number of observations changes. Below, I have a baseline model, followed by a model with variables from another source added (ctie csex cwehet density netsize). There are randomly missing observations for the other source, so the uncensored observations drops from 198 to 110. However, the total number of obs. also drops by the same amount (545 to 457=88). Why does the total number of obs. change, rather than the censored observations? Doesn't the total number of observations reflect the sample of the selection model? Thanks for any help you can give! -Gina
